Abstract
We experimentally investigate the transmission performance of 60-GHz signals
over standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) and wireless links at different bit rates.
Experimental results show that in a transmission of over 10-km SSMF and 1.3-m
wireless link, bit rate reaches up to 5 Gb/s and bit error rate (BER) is less than
10^{-4}. The main limiting factor in such radio-over-fiber (ROF) systems is
intersymbol interferences caused by the so-called walk-off effect when BER is below
10^{-8}. In addition, a transmission of over 20-km SSMF without chromatic dispersion
compensation is brie°y investigated. For a BER of 10?8, the optical penalty is 2 dB.
